Ingredients
- 1.1 pounds dates
- 0.7 ounces butter
- 5.3 ounces chopped walnuts
- Salt, to taste
- Cinnamon, to taste
- Sesame seeds, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Dates
Start by pitting all the dates. Ensure they are free from pits and ready to be used.
2. Melt the Butter and Fry the Nuts
In a pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the coarsely chopped walnuts to the pan. You can choose your favorite type of nuts for this step, whether it’s walnuts, almonds, or pecans. Fry the nuts gently in the butter, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the Dates
After a minute of frying the nuts, add the pitted dates to the pan. Keep frying and turning the mixture until the dates start to soften and form a thick, sticky mixture. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. Season the Mixture
Add a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of cinnamon to the date and nut mixture. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for at least 15 minutes.
5. Form the Rolls
Once the mixture has cooled, take a piece of cling film and lightly oil the inside of it. Divide the mixture into two portions to make it easier to work with. Form each portion into a roll, aiming for a maximum diameter of 2 centimeters. Wrap each roll tightly in the oiled cling film.
6. Coat with Sesame Seeds
Unwrap the rolls and sprinkle sesame seeds all around them. Re-wrap the rolls in the cling film and roll them to ensure they are completely covered with sesame seeds. Repeat this process until each roll is fully coated.
7. Freeze and Serve
Place the sesame-coated rolls in the freezer for 2 hours to harden. Once they are firm, use a sharp knife to cut them into circles about a centimeter thick. Serve these delicious, guilt-free energy bites as a snack or dessert.
